FOREWORD
SEMPER ANTICUS
Nearly two years and over five million dead.1
When I wrote my first foreword for The Journal, I
contemplated a new normal both for The Journal in
its new home at the University of Arizona James E.
Rogers College of Law and for the practice of law with
the rapid change brought on by the COVID-19 pandem-
ic. While I contemplated broad, systematic changes in
the practice of law, I did not imagine how much COVID-
19 would be impacting our daily lives now almost two
years into the pandemic.
In some sense we have settled into our new nor-
mal. The Journal has flourished as a free, online re-
source. I appreciate the kind notes I have received from
readers about our articles, and I am consistently im-
pressed with the pieces we receive for publication.
Likewise, attorneys and courts have settled into new
routines-from temperature checks to remote advocacy.
Sure, there are still bumps along the way. A few
weeks ago, my students did their final oral arguments
at our local state appellate court. Even before I left my
house to head downtown, I received emails about
